The formation used by the opponent is 5-4-1, clearly they know how strong Man City will be, who will dominate the midfield with the formation applied by Pep at this time. Indeed, something different and rarely done by Pep with the current formation, but everything will change when the players who are now on the bench will enter. Maybe in the second half, but Pep might test some players who were fielded from the beginning of the first half. We will see how efficient the tactics and formation applied by Pep are in this match.

Yes. Wydad Casablanca used a 5-4-1 formation and this shows that they want to focus on defense by utilizing quick counter-attacks.
But I have no doubts about Manchester City in this match. Although in the Premier League Manchester City's performance is up and down or unstable, the atmosphere at the FIFA Club World Cup will be different with an interesting display.

Cherki and Reijnders will see how far they can convince Pep Guardiola with their vision so that they can get the main place in the Manchester City line-up next season.
Let's give a prediction. I predict two goals at least for Manchester City.

With the intensity of the attack and possession of the ball from Man City in the first 20 minutes, they should have been able to get more than 2 goals. Especially since they had already scored the first goal in a short time after the first half started.
But they also have to be careful, several times the opposing players were able to escape to the Man City penalty box, even making shots. It will be dangerous if the opponent gets more opportunities. Man City plays with a fairly high defensive line, they have to be strong when facing counterattacks from the opponent.
